First phase (student and work-study status): application review
You will receive eligibility or non-eligibility results individually by email a few days prior to the tests (expected date for results to be sent - from April 8, 2024 - this date is subject to change). Eligible applicants will be asked to log on to a platform to choose the date for their qualification tests (only one choice of a non-modifiable date is possible). Since the number of applicants per day is limited, the date can only be guaranteed for applicants who register quickly. Applicants must report to the school’s reception desk with a valid ID at 7:45am on the date selected.
-
Second phase (student and work-study status): qualification tests
Qualification events will be organized in person at IMT Mines Albi between Monday, April 22 and Friday, April 26, 2024. At the end of the qualification tests, the admissions committee will establish a list of final admissions (student track) and academic admissions (work-study track).
- A written test with multiple-choice math (L2 scientific level) and French questions (vocabulary, grammar, conjugation, written comprehension, summarizing).
- An oral interview test with a jury on your motivations and career plan.
- Oral tests in English.
The Academic Commission will communicate the results individually from April 27, 2024. The tests may be rescheduled or modified in the case of force majeure.

Third phase (work-study): search for a host company

Search until the end of September
Final admission to the work-study track will be announced for applicants declared eligible following the qualification tests who are among the first to be accepted by a host company, within the limit of places available. Applicants who have not yet found a host company when their admission is announced will be asked to participate in a company search training session or receive advice by telephone.
Applicants are therefore strongly encouraged to actively seek a host company before their academic admission is announced. Looking for a host company for a work-study contract is similar to a job search. This is therefore the final criterion for selecting applicants.
Establishment of the final work-study admission list: September 19, 2024
As a reminder: final admission is always subject to the applicants’ successful completion of their fifth year of pharmacy – industry track studies.

Applicants may use the company presentation file, downloadable here, to assist them in their search and interactions with companies. A company search training session and personalized support are organized for eligible applicants.

The vocational training of our future engineers is a key component of the support services provided at IMT Mines Albi.
Our students therefore participate in vocational courses and workshops throughout the course of their studies:
- establishing a career plan
- job search techniques
- preparation for job interviews
- hiring role-play
Individual interviews to assess students’ motivations and actions are organized on a regular basis during students’ time at the school.
